Is it all about Winning????

Well…we recently concluded with the table tennis league at our college, and fortunately I happened to be associated with it quite closely….As of now I just had the knowledge of a layman about the game…but this tournament gave me quite an insight about it and made me acquainted with the intricacies involved.

 My intention is not to discuss my knowledge about the same!!! There were 6 teams in total, each with their set of players. All the teams were at par with each other. Ironically as per the law of the land…only 1 could win. But my concern is not as to who won….Once I saw the matches and the players facing each other I could see a spark in each one of them…everybody under tremendous pressure with an expectation from the owner, the team and of course the supporters; gave his best shot…the matches were all so close…Some of the real good players had an early exit.

This tournament had made me think for a while…IS IT ALL ABOUT WINNING??? Or its but being your best and giving in your 100%.This league taught me an important lesson…Its not only about winning at the end of the day…it’s about putting in your best foot forward with a positive attitude and giving your best shot…

This I believe helps us to achieve a sense of satisfaction which is much more eternal than anything else….Even winning…so as its always said…Do your best and leave the rest!!!!!

21....

Dis year on 19th of dis month, its been 21 years me existing in this world.I believe its one of the crucial phase of mah life. Stepping from adolescence to being an adult….a matured individual who is ready to carve a niche for herself. Its gonna be lot more exciting, thrilling and above all challenging for me hereafter. I am on the verge of competing my MBA and ready to put my first step on the corporate ladder. With lots of dreams and spark in my eyes (just like any other gal at my age wud have) I even tend to have jitters werein the heartbeat can be clearly heard when thinking about that big day. The big day being talked here undisputably is cracking successfully my dream company. Tremendous pressure, expectations in the eyes of near and dear ones, are all part of the package. All these 21 years I have been groomed and grilled in a way which has helped me grow as an individual. Everyday has been a learning experience making me better each time. Losing out on small things, depression of not being able to deliver as thought of, coming across and facing so many situations unimagined…..all these have embibed the seeds of practicality, fine judgement and positive attitude in me. Its not that I didn’t had people by my side when things went wrong,as they always will. Its just that I fought my battle on my own. I know its just the beginning and I have a long way to go. But I wont refrain from the fact that all these 21 years has been long enough to make me wise to understand that Life Goes On and so should you! These 21 years of my life has shaped me as an individual who is now ready to prove herself, not as a daughter,a sis or a friend;but one thing she has always yearned to….as an INDIVIDUAL herself!!!!!

I would like to sign off by quoting a couple of lines by Robert Frost

Thats Me....

It may seem as if I am carefree and strong
Going through life as if nothing is wrong.
But no one has ever seen the real me
They only know what I let them believe.
Most often my smiles are real and sincere
Other times they help to hide my secret fears.
I carefully created a clever mask of illusion
I wear it now to hide my pain and confusion.
So never is a tear seen falling from my eye
I have learned to hold it all silently inside.
Quite often I want to just let go and weep
But the pain is very intense and too deep.
I yearn to belong, to be one of the crowd
To be able to speak of my dreams out loud.
Wanting so very much to be accepted
Yet fearing the possibility of being rejected.
I need special someone to discern the real me
And not hold in contempt what they will see.
The weaknesses and flaws I try so hard to hide
Are all part of the real me I keep hidden inside....

Just a Novice

Hello everyone...All I would like to say is am just new to blogging.I know its quite amusing that this should have been my first post.But its better late than never.Well the first post "Don't Quit" actually would keep my spirits high to articulate myself the best I can. Here I embark upon my journey in the world of blogging.
So greetings to all from a novice in your world...

Don't Quit

When things go wrong as they sometimes will,
When the road you're trudging seems all uphill,
When the funds are low and the debts are high,
And you want to smile but you have to sigh,
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest if you must, but don't you quit.
Success is failure turned inside out,
The Silver tint in the clouds of doubt,
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems afar.
So stick to the fight when you're hardest hit,
It's when things go wrong that you mustn't quit.
